Is Bellew - McKenzie still happening.

[Andy]

If Frankie Gavin is now boxing Jason Cook over twelve as his post suggests, is Bellew - McKenzie 2 no longer happening ?

[Camcas]

No its still on why wouldnt it be

[xXHAMMERXx]

I think it will still be on. He is just saying he has got a title fight next I reckon

[Chambers2]

No its still on why wouldnt it be

The fact that Jason Cook Vs Frankie Gavin is now happening on Saturday (at short notice)

Plus there are people on ESB stating it's off (not that I'd trust them 100%)

Yeah, seems a bit of an odd one, particularly with less than a week to go. I mean, an 8-rounder, so what but a 12 rounder...especially when Bellew/McKenzie was/is billed as the main event and being pushed as a 12-rounder/title fight.

No way Gavin gets a short notice fight against a dangerous oppo, unless allegedly is desperate for a show-saving fight

[orbtastic]

'zactly

I'm not moaning, I've ringside seats and it'll be a good fight.

Will we see Bellew/McKenzie on the undercard of Clev/Braemer now?

[wadey]

What is Frank W playing at? First Mitchell v Murray gets announced, then less than a week later it is not happening. Now Bellew V Mckenzie is off.

Bellew-McKenzie being off must be to injury IMO, unless McKenzie has decided to up his demands just before the fight. Injury though I reckon

[Chambers2]

After hearing last night that the John Murray v Kevin Mitchell fight was off. Boxing fans have been dealt another blow today. Apparently the Commonwealth light-heavyweight title fight rematch between champion Tony Bellew and challenger Ovill McKenzie is off now too! The fight was to be shown live on Saturday's 'Big Fight Live' on Sky. website will be updated when more news comes through. http://www.britishboxers.co.uk

No mention of why it's off, so it may not be injury related

[stevek3lly]

Gutted, was really looking forward to seeing Bomber blow McKensie away in style. Hope it is just put back a bit if it is definately off.

[Dioufy]

Frankie's saving up his better fights for PPV, IMO. No way does he put good fights on Sky Sports.

[SAPFO]

Great news for me, I was going to have to miss it due to other commitments. Now I'll just miss another early ref stoppage, FW style!

Murray/Mitchell, Clev/Knobhead, Bomber/McKenzie and DeGale/Groves - that'll be the next PPV, IMO. And it would be a very worthwhile PPV, too.

Gutted by this, I was really lookin forward to this. Very nearly bought tix but something held me back, very glad now!

[chiggsy]

Does anyone know if either man will still be fighting on the card?
This sport never fails to upset me.

[Horse]

Has there been an official announcement that the fight is off?

Bellow is injured according to Mersy Gloves. Fight to be rescheduled.

[Andy]

Confirmed as being off on the promoters website. Bellew has an injured hand.

shit isnt it. Im still going but dissapointed that Bellew isnt fighting, that was a cracking looking fight. Still looking forward to Big Larry and Frankie Gavin though...

[Horse]

Hot prospect Frankie Gavin will now headline at London's York Hall this Saturday (19th February) after former gym Tony Bellew withdrew because of a hand injury.

The show's main event will now be an eliminator for the British title with an English title fight as chief support. It could do with a bigger title being on the line.
